Mr. Obvious Headline of the Day - Where the Uninsured Are

Half the nation’s uninsured live in just 116 counties

A new study conducted for The Associated Press shows the administration is best off focusing on a relatively narrow geographic area: Half of those under 65 without insurance live in just 116 of the nation’s 3,143 counties. And half of all 19-39 year olds without insurance — the most coveted demographic as health-care providers look to expand their risk pools — live in 108 counties.

No shit, half the uninsured live in the counties which contain almost half the population:

Using Census data, we've figured out that half of the United States population is clustered in just the 146 biggest counties out of over 3000.

Sure, 146 is more than 118, but should we really be surprised that there are a lot of uninsured people where there are a lot of people?  I'd say no.  I bet you'll be surprised to learn that the counties with the most uninsured happen to be the largest counties in the country.  No, really.  I know, that's fucking amazing.
